Chapter 65 - Abandoned Amusement Park
“Throw it away. Throw the money away.”
With a wild roar, Lin Yao ignored the children around him. He squeezed them away with one step and rushed in the direction of Xiaomeng and Xiaofei. At the same time, Lin Yao touched the long sword at his waist, getting ready to draw it at any time.
As he was rushing forward, he felt malice rushing toward him like the tide. He almost blacked out because of the waves of malice.
‘Damn, I must be crazy. I should be fleeing since I sensed malice.’
While thinking about this, Lin Yao did not back up a bit. He did not just sense malice, but also the sense of dependence that Xiaomeng and Xiaofei had when it came to him.
He could not ignore the two girls, who were around seven or eight years old, and run away by himself.
“Hurry up, throw the money away.”
Lin Yao, who rushed madly forward, turned hideous due to the malicious stimulation, which obviously scared Xiaomeng and Xiaofei.
However, he had come here for ten consecutive days to have fun with the children.
Although they did not know what had happened or why the gentle elder brother had suddenly gotten angry, they still listened to Lin Yao’s instructions and threw away the 100-yuan bill in their hands immediately.
At the same time, the surrounding caregivers also noticed that Lin Yao was rushing forward like mad.
“Stop it, stop it.”
They thought that Lin Yao was rushing toward the two little girls. However, Lin Yao had no time to care about them.
When the 100 yuan was thrown away, Lin Yao sensed that the malice had reached its peak, and the special perception also allowed him to vaguely see a door. There was a clown covered in blood standing behind the door. It was reaching out toward the two children.
Lin Yao widened his eyes in shock at the scene and ran toward the children while roaring.
“Stop… Boom!”
A thunderous explosion echoed in the orphanage. Lin Yao was angry and at the same time anxious as he unleashed his energy, spewing some blood as well.
The full roar was very effective. A lot of the glass in the entire orphanage was broken by Lin Yao’s roar, and some children even covered their ears in pain.
However, Lin Yao did not care about them anymore. At that moment, he directed his full attention to the bills in front of him.
The two young girls who stood facing Lin Yao were stunned by his Deafening Thunder Roar. They were shocked by the loud roar, and the clown-like doll also paused for a while.
Lin Yao made use of this slight pause to dash forward, drawing his sword in the meantime.
Clang.
At the sound of the long sword being unsheathed, a dazzling bright light was directed from Lin Yao’s hand. The bright light seemed like a shiny day that dispelled all the mist and haze of the dark night. The faint door and the illusory clown also fluctuated like shadows.
Lin Yao used the scattered light energy to protect his eyes. He could barely see the door under the strong light, but he noticed that it seemed illusory. He was glad that his attacks were effective and he used his full might as he swung the ironwood sword that shone with a strong light at the bills.
However, as soon as the ironwood sword touched the bills, the illusory portal suddenly moved forward, and Xiaomeng, Xiaofei, and Lin Yao were pulled into it.
When the door passed through the two little girls and approached Lin Yao, he was already ready for it. While swinging the sword with his right hand toward the bills, he used his left hand to block the incoming door.
However, what happened next sent a chill to his heart. The door passed through Lin Yao’s arm like an illusion, moving past his body, and suddenly closed behind him.
At the last moment, Lin Yao could only slash at the bills and roar, “Call the police!”
His final words were still ringing in the surroundings when Lin Yao and the two children disappeared. What was left were the other children who were scattered around and the caregivers who shielded their eyes from the light. A few moments later, an angry figure rushed in through the entrance of the orphanage.
Minutes later, more and more people rushed over. They were guards, as well as powerful figures who lived in the neighborhood.
“What’s the matter?”
“What happened? Was there an attack?”
“Did a beast launch an attack? There is nothing here.”
As the roaring sounds echoed, the caregivers were the first to react. They already knew that they had misunderstood Lin Yao. Although he had rushed forward, he was not the one who had attacked the children. The invisible danger had done it.
At the same time, they also thought of Lin Yao’s final roar.
“Call the police. Call the police now.”
“Is this 110? This is…”
Lin Yao’s Deafening Thunder Roar was loud, and it was already late at night, so there were not many people around. Soon, the special personnel who patrolled the area found out about the situation and a three-man team quickly rushed to the orphanage.
As soon as they reached the yard, a detector on a person in a black uniform rang and their expressions changed right away.
“A beast actually launched an attack here.”
“Report this to the higher-ups. I hope everyone is okay.”
“Can anyone tell me how many people have disappeared… and how many people have been robbed? There is an invisible monster in our city, and we are chasing it down…”
…
Everything was a mess in the orphanage, but Lin Yao could not pay attention right now.
After being encircled by the door, he was surprised to see that he had moved from the orphanage to a strange place.
‘Chronoshift? Is there a need to use such a powerful ability to deal with me and two children?’
After discovering that he had been transferred out of thin air, Lin Yao was completely shocked. He had not expected that he and the two children, who were not powerful figures, would have such an encounter. This was not even akin to firing a cannon to kill a mosquito. It was worse than that.
‘Calm down, calm down.’
Upon taking a deep breath and barely calming down, Lin Yao looked around. After observing the surroundings, he could vaguely see that this was an abandoned amusement park. However, this amusement park was a bit weird, or the world it was in was strange.
Upon getting there, Lin Yao remembered that although the sun had set, the moon and stars were shining in the sky and it was not totally dark.
However, although the moon could be seen, the surrounding area was covered by a thin layer of gray fog. The gray fog made it difficult to see the surrounding area. At the same time, for some reason, the things that Lin Yao saw through the faint fog were a little distorted and deformed, looking hideous and terrifying as a result. One could not help but feel scared of these ghost-like shapes.
‘Does this fog have the effect of a concave-convex mirror?’
Lin Yao, who was surprised, looked around as he searched for a way to leave.
While he was looking around, Xiaomeng and Xiaofei, who had come in with him, looked around them in terror, squeezing their bodies and snuggling up to Lin Yao.
Lin Yao’s fear lessened a bit after seeing the two of them beside him.
The instinct to protect young children was engraved in the human genes. Lin Yao noticed the fear in their eyes and was even more determined to save them all.
At that moment, Xiaomeng suddenly cried out, “Big brother, I’m sorry! I didn’t know… Oh…”
“Don’t cry, you are not to blame.”
Even Lin Yao had not expected that the two of them would cause such big trouble by picking up the 100 yuan. Seeing that they were shivering, Lin Yao stroked their little heads, trying to comfort them.
However, as soon as he patted their heads, Lin Yao was surprised to find that they felt cold to the touch. He glanced at their trembling bodies and could not help but let out a sound in surprise.
‘Is it cold here? Why didn’t I… The Armored Body Of Light! The light energy stored in my body makes me immune to the cold. However, the energy will dissipate very quickly. I can’t wait anymore.’
Lin Yao bent down to hug the two children. He checked the direction and ran toward an open space.
However, he had barely taken a few steps when he sensed violent malice coming from ahead.
